an OCTOBER RIDE.

On. swiftly forward flashed the train,
And rich the autumn foliage came,
Until it seemed that past the pare
October flew on wings OF flame!
1t was joy TO watch the CLEAN
OF tender sky and tinted leaf;
The wind scarce stirred the placid
stream
1t was day for sweet belief.
The woodbine, like lover, wound
The blushing oak with rosy arms;
The red leaves fiuttering DER the
ground,
like couriers. spread the Frosts alarms,
And then there come some faces FAR,
Some old-tilne friends that we'll we
knew
The sumacs, nodding, eebonier,
In schoolgirl hoods of ruddy hue.
The mellow fields of green and gray
Told of the harvests they had born
Like golden bombs the pumpkins lay
Amid the tasselcd tents OF corn.
1t was the time when chestnuts tall
And early morning frosts the grass,
When urchins in the orchards call
And mock the crows that southwark
pass.
unused upon the seasons Hight
From northern pines so southern
seass
Leaving path of color bright
With gold and scarlet harmonies.
Then nature like woman seemed,
Whose work was done, and now was
dressed
In richest robes, and sat and dreamed
Ger maiden fancies long at rest.
And next the landscape seemed to tell
A tale of life-of mellow age,
or the rich fruit of doing well,
And its eternal heritage.
And could my autumn be scene
AS fair as smiles beneath that sun,
With memories crowding fast between
OF klndnesses received and done,
Then would l watch the glimmerine
pane
Nor wish Earth's field to further
roam,
Nor ask old time to stop his train
That daily brought me nearer home.

GAIL HAMILToN's CoMMoN-sENsE AD-
yIcETo THE DISCONTINUED.

Special Correspondence Of the PhttGdet-
phia Press.
HAMILTON, Mass, Oct. 27.-We
seem to have entered upon an era OF
organization. The discontinued have
one sovereign remedy-to destroy
what is now organized and to organ
ize anew. Organization is a power
full force, but unless it is controlled
by intelligence it is rope of sand.
Organization creates no new facul-
ties in man or beast or any form of
mind or matter. 1t can only utilize
what already exists. Organization
cannot overthrow natural law. 1t is
useful only as itharmonizes with and
avails itself of natural law.
| have seen two men starting in life
side by side, one with only his own
hands to help him, the other with
house and lands and money inherit.
ed from his father-men of the same
station in life and of the same family
connection. Both married good girls
and each reared family-ths poor
man larger family than the rich
man. To-day their condition in life
is exactly reversed. The poor man
who had nothing but his health and
his hands, who paid rent and earned
every cent he ever held, to-day owns
his house, his small farm, his COW,
has snug little sum at interest, is
still earning money, takes holiday
when he chooses, is a capitalist, in
telligent, contented, respected and
happy, at friendship with all the
world. The other man has lost house,
farm, money, is living in kinsman's
house half on charity, half only on
convenience, is chiefly supported by
the unceasing toll of his devoted
wife; without any special vice is per-
fectly respectable, but has no voice
in the neighborhood movements, is
never consulted about church or par
ish or school or lecture and has a
constant sense of being vronged.
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE MEN.
1t seems to me that the difference
here was in the men themselves, not
in government or society, or laws or
Tyranny. The man who now owns
real estate is not "robber baron.'
1t was not his oppressive capital"
that lost his neighbor farm. The
"wage system" had "made a slave"
of him; it had made him a capital
list, 1t was not workers in the ten
ements, idlers in the brownstone
frontsp that had pulled down the
one man or set up the other. The
worker in the tenement, by constant
industry and frugality, had become

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend 1t shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority iii
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department; and we ex-
poet to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree OF the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: old pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Suriey,dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. 5. of Green :
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. 5. OF Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre-emnently the kind of iniorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. II is the American gentle
mans paper for the history of the horse In
all such information there is included much
local and general history Indeed, the trac-
ing of some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.

of information:
NEWARK, n. j., April 81, 1887.
MR.. w. II. CHESTER.
Dear SRI have looked up the pedi-
gree as regards sire of Spirit of the Times,
bay stallion, whose record you give as
$3.50, Oct. 20, 1859, and send it herewith,
though | do not suppose it will be of any
use to you.
Spirit of the Times, bay horse, foaled
1854, bred by Geo. w. Adams, Washing
ton county, n. Y, got by Flying Cloud
son of Vermont Black Hawk. Flying
Cloud was also the sire of Bold Boy
Arsenic, Child Murat, Black Murat and
Others well known.
Adams also owned American, son of
Whitehall, and was quite horseman and
breeder twenty-five and more years ago
If he is living he could give much valu-
able information az to the old-tme trotting
horses and their breeding, especially
those of the vicinity of Fort Edward
Whitehall, Glen Falls, Ticonderoga, etc.
In Northern New York.
When boy ! knew Adams, and re-
